we are officially in the top half of the ACC standings right now with FSU losing.
FWIW, K said after the Ind game that the starters needed to learn how to play and he planned to let them. He did not plan on using his bench more.
Most of KY's players will leave for the NBA after this season, that is what they do. I doubt more than 1 or 2 of their FR return for their SO years.
Hopefully the NBA can get moving on rescinding the one an done rule and we can be over this farce. Silver has suggested it is becoming a high priority to change that rule.
"I'm thinking about retiring," Valentine said in an interview with The Athletic. "I've had enough of people blowing up stuff. I think I've had a stellar career, and I think it's time to get ready to walk away."
Valentine was removed from two Big Ten games he was supposed to work, and when given the option to work Georgia Tech's home game against Yale on Saturday, he declined.

Here's a clip
Something tells me TV Teddy expects an outpouring of support e.g., "please don't leave us!!".
NC State becoming quite the landing spot for transfers. Add Mizzou guard Blake Harris to the list. Couple of others sitting out this year and ready for next year.

Maybe it will change under Keatts, but State has had great recruiting classes before. Something seems to happen after they arrive in Raleigh. The team frequently disappoints their fans. When I moved to NC Les Robinson was beginning to feel the heat. He was followed, in succession, by Herb Sendeck, Sidney Lowe, and Mark Gottfried. All were considered great recruiters. In fact, I do not think "great recruiter" was on Keatts' resume.
I think Keats is a different animal than Gottfried. Certainly than Mr. Lowe. He built his recruiting bona fides at Louisville and Hargrave - and his coaching was way above average at UNCW. The major question is whether his AAU full court press approach will work in a guard dominated ACC. I wanted us to look at him when when we got rid of CBG with the caveat that I didn't know if he would be able to do his style of recruiting with GT limitations - he has very few at NCSU.
In the continuing saga of as the Wolfpack turns, the felony charges against Markell Johnson have been dropped.
No discussion yet of what NCSU's next move will be - can he now play or what?
